Bengal vs Punjab Betting Tips

Bengal to score low before 1st dismissal (@Batery)

Bengal’s current form looks promising. However, the batting department lacks flair this season. Sudip Chatterjee and Shuvan Dey opened for the team before but Writtick Chatterjee and Ankit Chatterjee opened for the team in the last game. Both Chatterjee's average under 26 in the current season and have fallen prey to the bowling attack. The team posted the scores of 14, 101, 0, 1 & 10 runs before their first dismissal in the 1st innings of the five games they have played so far. That said, Bengal can expect a quick dismissal in the next game.

Bengal vs Punjab Toss Prediction

The pitches at Eden Gardens are typically prepared using black cotton soil. The surface at Kolkata's iconic Eden Gardens offers a balanced surface for both batters and bowlers. However, as the match progresses it becomes slow, which could favour spinners.
